Behind the cover: The MARSOC workout

Whether you are a grunt with multiple combat tours under your belt or a personnel clerk who is not used to humping it with a pack, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command has come up with a w0rkout that is sure to whip you into shape and Marine Corps Times spells it out for you in detail in this week’s cover story.

“First Look: The MARSOC Workout,” includes a four-page special pull-out section that walks you through each day in the 10-week program. MARSOC recruiters hand the program out to Marines who are interested in attending Assessment and Selection, the 19-day tryout where Marines are tested to see if they have what it takes to become a special operator, but anyone can give it a shot.

The six day a week workout regimen, will test you both physically and mentally. It will require you to swim hundreds of meters in cammies, hike up to 14 miles with a 45-pound pack, run and complete regular strength training exercises. Ooh-Rah!
